“It’s vital to keep away from any motion that might result in main navy confrontations on a number of fronts within the Center East…Now could be the time for max restraint,” the UN Secretary-Normal advised delegates on the opening of an emergency assembly of the Safety Council.
Mr. Guterres defined that the emergency session was known as by Israel following what it described in a letter was ‘a direct assault launched by Iran… of greater than 200 UAVs, cruise missiles, and ballistic missiles in the direction of Israel in clear violation of worldwide legislation.’
The UN chief added that in a separate letter, Iran had said that it had carried out a collection of navy strikes on Israeli navy goals ‘within the train of Iran’s inherent proper to self-defence as outlined in Article 51 of the UN Constitution, and in response to the Israeli recurring navy aggressions, notably its armed assault on 1 April 2024 towards Iranian diplomatic premises” – in Damascus.
